We lost another two little bunnies yesterday. I have decided to relinquish bunny-feeding duties; if LSS is away giving English lessons at feeding time they’ll just have to go hungry until she returns. Mind you, they are somewhat fragile animals; and as we are not feeding them any antibiotics or other medicines, nature tends to take its course. It makes you realise that it’s not surprising there are so many chemicals employed in commercial farming – every animal which gets sick or dies impacts the profit of the enterprise.

I have been preparing the installation for the photovoltaic solar panels. This has necessitated some tidying up in my workshop. There is a stout table against one wall upon which the batteries reside. The solar controller and AC inverter are also in this area. Unfortunately the entire area was surrounded with lumber, so I was unable to actually reach the table. I therefore constructed a lumber rack using an old pallet, and tidied up a bit. I can now access the table! I also went to the Aged FIL’s farm where I remembered seeing two steel frames; these can be modified to support the solar panels themselves. I brought them back using the Renault 5. And whilst I was there, I also brought back some of the half-burnt timbers from the old garage roof. There are still a few left; but the majority have now been converted into firewood.
